Robotic suit to prevent freezing in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic suit designed to help prevent freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck) in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll attend 8 visits to see if the suit can improve your walking and reduce falls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have Parkinson's disease and experience freezing of gait (feeling stuck while walking).
- You can walk at least 20 meters on your own (with or without a cane or walker, but no help from another person).
- You pass a short thinking and memory test (score of 21 or higher on the MoCA).
- You can understand and follow instructions and are willing to attend 8 research visits.

This study uses small wearable sensors to measure how you walk and move. The goal is to better track Parkinson's symptoms and predict falls, so your care can be more personalized.
This study tests an artificial intelligence system that detects freezing of gait—sudden, involuntary pauses while walking—using sensors you wear at home. The goal is to better understand and eventually help manage this common Parkinson's symptom.
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
This study tests a pair of smart shoes that give gentle vibrations to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait (when your feet suddenly feel stuck to the ground). The shoes may help you walk more smoothly and reduce those freezing episodes.
This study tests a device that may help people with Parkinson's disease who experience 'freezing'—when their feet feel stuck to the ground. It aims to see if using the device can reduce these episodes.
This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
